The Descendants

The movie The Descendants takes place in Hawaii, otherwise known as paradise. In the beginning of the movie George Clooney goes through a monologue about how people think life is perfect in Hawaii as if cancer, disappointment, pain and tragedies don't exist in Hawaii. It struck me how true that statement is. I sometimes think if I were overlooking an ocean how much better life would be. The ocean makes me feel peaceful and calm. There is something sacred about the ocean to me. However, the ocean can't cure cancer, take away pain or disappointment and sometimes even causes destruction. I still dream about having a beach house one day, but blessed is the man who can find beauty living in a cardboard box. Beauty comes from a sacred place within you.

About Me

I often overlook the simple miracles and possibilities which surround me because I get caught up in the treadmill of life. As a stay at home Mom I get focused on the calendar of who needs to be picked up when, what activities are going on this week, what I'm making for dinner, doing laundry and so on. I can be guilty of overlooking the simple abundance surrounding me and forget to really see the sacred in the ordinary. I hope you enjoy my joyful scribblings. Thanks for visiting my blog.
